Spread fertilizer. Rake dirt. Spread seed. Rake dirt again. Water every day until the grass is established. If spreading dirt: put down fertilizer, spread dirt, spread seed. Rake dirt. Water every day until grass is established. **Q: can i fertilize new sod in hot weather with this?** A: Yes, but I water it down good immediately after putting down the fertilizer. It will burn the grass if you don't water it good and immediately. I put mine down about 7:00 p.m. so the water doesn't evaporate so fast. **Q: My husband did not prepare soil correctly when he was patching 2 holes so the grass seed we planted is not doing well. Will this help?** A: I recommend getting a husband that knows what the heck he is doing...that will help! **Q: Will this tend to stimulate weed growth initially too? Our weeds seem worse. No rototilling was done before seeding with our grass seed.** A: No, Scotts Turf Builder won't cause weeds. If you didn't do any rototilling first, that is your problem. I don't have weeds in mine because of rototilling first, and then putting down sod. The grass is really coming on now. ## Frequently Bought Together - Scotts Turf Builder Starter Fertilizer for New Grass, Use When Planting Seed, 5,000 sq. ft., 15 lbs. - Scotts GrubEx1 Season Long Grub Killer, Protects Lawns Up to 4 Months, 5,000 sq. ft., 14.35 lbs. - Scotts Turf Builder EdgeGuard Mini Broadcast Spreader for Seed,Fertilizer,Salt,Ice Melt, Holds up to 5,000 sq.ft.
